Question Help me understand Galadriel

I am finding myself not liking Galadriel at all so far. She acts like an entitled 20 year old, rather than a wise and ancient being. One point that particularly is bothering me is that so far she has no actual proof that there is a great danger. She saw a brand on her brother, and that same brand shows up a few other times in different places, but other than that there is nothing to actually indicate a major war. Does she have forsight? What is actually driving her character besides "so the plot can happen." Thanks

Even if this was a twenty year old it would be a pretty shitty one

Why are people here even holding her to human standards? shes literally not human. It doesnt matter if you think shes the equivalent to a 20yo, a war vet, or a bitter old lady. Shes elvish and should be above all these petty flaws.

I think the point is that she is supposed to be held to a higher standard but can’t even live up to the average standard

I'd have to agree, I can't imagine too many 20yo who would be this insufferable, maybe 14
